Walkin' in London like I did as a child
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
I'm passin' through the neighborhood where I grew up
It doesn't feel like it used to, doesn't feel like it used to
Did I try to control you?
Yeah, I get lost in my own world
So I go through all the words I ever said
And it feels like the world is crashin' down
Let's light up the city
Yeah, the buildings ain't so pretty
Let's have the time of our lives
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closer than we ever dreamed of
We've never been closer than now
(Yeah, yeah)
These are the days of excess (yeah)
You want the moon 'cause it's been callin' you (yeah)
So let's light up the city
The buildings ain't so pretty
And we're havin' the time of our lives
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closer than we ever dreamed of
We've never been closer than now
We've never been closer than
We've never been closer than now
Closer than we ever dreamed of
We've never been closer than now
Walkin' through London like I did as a child
Yeah, the spotlight can't keep up with us no more
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
Yeah, it's you that can turn this world around
